Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Chicken: You could also use browned ground beef if you'd prefer.
- Chicken Broth: Use broth 50% reduced sodium if you can find it to avoid an overly salty soup.
- Beans: Drain your beans and rinse in cold water using a colander to take off the canning liquid.
- Corn: Fresh, frozen, or (drained) canned corn can be used.
- Taco Seasoning: Use store-bought or homemade.
Tips
- Seal: Slide your Instant Pot lid from the right to the left to the right to seal it in place.
- Steam is normal: Don't be alarmed if your pressure cooker releases some steam until it comes up to pressure, this is normal.
- Cook time only starts once the pot comes up to pressure. Be sure to factor this in when planning dinner.
- When you release the pressure on soup mode manually, it will take longer than normal. This is because a large amount of liquid releases more steam.
- Wooden Spoon Hack: Use a wooden spoon to turn the knob easily without burning your fingers!
Yes, cook on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours.
